Jeff Walcoff, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports Cleveland Browns DT Babatunde Oshinowo believes he is making progress and has recorded a sack in each of the first two preseason games, "I felt good about getting sacks in the games. But I felt better in the second (preseason) game about my overall technique." Oshinowo, 6-feet-1, 302 pounds, knows at his size technique is the most important thing he can learn, "I feel like I've progressed a lot in my technique and I've learned a lot from guys like DT Orpheus (Roye) and DT Ted (Washington) and I've made a lot of good strides."

Steve Doerschuk, writing for the Sporting News, reports opinions seem to be mixed regarding Cleveland Browns rookie DT Babatunde Oshinowo. One veteran NFL personnel man said Oshinowo doesn't impress him as even a candidate for 10 snaps a game, but the Browns view Oshinowo as a sixth-round steal. The Browns liked his stoutness against the run at Stanford and think he can become a good fit for their 3-4 scheme.

Zac Jackson, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports the Cleveland Browns have announced the team has signed rookie DL Babatunde Oshinowo, the team's sixth-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, to a four-year deal. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Mary Kay Cabot, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports Cleveland Browns sixth-round pick DL Babatunde Oshinowo believes he is as good a player as Baltimore Ravens first-round pick DL Haloti Ngata. "In my mind, we're on the same level," said Oshinowo. "He's an amazing talent that attracts a lot of coaches, but I feel like, put in the same situations, I can do just as good a job."

Steve Doerschuk, of the Canton Repository, reports Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel discussed his first impression of DL Babatunde Oshinowo from minicamp. Crennel said, "Conditioning is a little problem. He shows some stoutness at the line. As his conditioning improves, I think he'll be more impressive."

Jeff Walcoff, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports Cleveland Browns DT Babatunde Oshinowo, a sixth-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, might have been a big steal for the Browns. Oshinowo was originally projected to go in the first three rounds, but due to poor offseason workouts, the team was able to grab a player with proven experience as a 3-4 nose tackle much later in the draft.

Cleveland Browns general manager Phil Savage said sixth-round draft pick DL Babatunde Oshinowo will likely start out at nose tackle. Savage added, "I think he's probably a true nose tackle. He hasn't played a defensive end position. He's pretty much been on the nose. I think initially he'll be on the nose."

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Stanford DT Babatunde Oshinowo ran the three-cone drill in 7.63 seconds at his Pro Day workout Wednesday, March 15. Because of intermittent rain, the players ran on Astroturf that was too slippery for most of the players to run the shuttles. They will return Thursday, March 30 to run the shuttles.
